From May 2 to June 29, 2024.
Exhibition at the Maison de la Culture du Japon in Paris, 101 bis, quai Jacques Chirac, 75015 Paris
Kenzô Tange and Kengo Kuma are the fathers of the sports infrastructures built for the 1964 and 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games (postponed to 2021): the Yoyogi National Gymnasium and the National Stadium. This exhibition highlights, on the eve of the Olympic Games in France, the importance of these achievements in the career of these two immense architects, allowing us to understand their influence on Japanese architecture today, their fascination for the Katsura Imperial Villa, as well as their links with France
